Measure check

[vjnvinod]

Dear community,

Below is my measure, is there a way i can simplify this?

BDE check = IF('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Global Business Development Executive]="Valencia, Gonzalo","Yes-BDE",IF('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Global Business Development Executive]="Webster, Julianne","Yes-BDE",IF('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Global Business Development Executive]="DiBlasio, Wendy","Yes-BDE",IF('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Global Business Development Executive]="Maliepaard, Yolanda","Yes-BDE",IF('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Global Business Development Executive]="Geyer, Jody","Yes-BDE",IF('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Global Business Development Executive]="Croft, Ben","Yes-BDE",IF('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Global Business Development Executive]="Gardner, Toby","Yes-BDE",if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Leader]="Valencia, Gonzalo", "Yes-PL",if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Leader]="Webster, Julianne","Yes-PL",if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Leader]="DiBlasio, Wendy","Yes-PL", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Leader]="Maliepaard, Yolanda","Yes-PL", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Leader]="Geyer, Jody","Yes-PL", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Leader]="Croft, Ben","Yes-PL", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Leader]="Gardner, Toby","Yes-PL",if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Identified By]="Valencia, Gonzalo","Yes-Identifed By", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Identified By]="Webster, Julianne","Yes-Identified By", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Identified By]="DiBlasio, Wendy","Yes-Identifiedy By", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Identified By]="Maliepaard, Yolanda","Yes-Identified By", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Identified By]="Geyer, Jody","Yes-Identified By", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Identified By]="Croft, Ben","Yes-Identified By", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Identified By]="Gardner, Toby","Yes- Identified By",if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team]="Valencia, Gonzalo","Yes-PT",if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team]="Webster, Julianne","Yes-PT", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team]="DiBlasio, Wendy","Yes-PT",if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team]="Maliepaard, Yolanda","Yes-PT", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team]="Geyer, Jody","Yes-PT", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team]="Croft, Ben","Yes-PT", if('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team]="Gardner,Toby","Yes-PT","No"))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

hi, @vjnvinod 

For your requirement, you could use IN Function in your formula,

and "Pursuit Team" coloumn has more than 1 names in it, you need to use SEARCH Function in it.

BDE check =
IF (
    'Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Global Business Development Executive]
        IN {
        "Valencia, Gonzalo",
        "Webster, Julianne",
        "DiBlasio, Wendy",
        "Maliepaard, Yolanda",
        "Geyer, Jody",
        "Croft, Ben",
        "Gardner, Toby"
    },
    "yes bde",
    IF (
        'Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Leader]
            IN {
            "Valencia, Gonzalo",
            "Webster, Julianne",
            "DiBlasio, Wendy",
            "Maliepaard, Yolanda",
            "Geyer, Jody",
            "Croft, Ben",
            "Gardner, Toby"
        },
        "yes pl",
        IF (
            'Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Identified By]
                IN {
                "Valencia, Gonzalo",
                "Webster, Julianne",
                "DiBlasio, Wendy",
                "Maliepaard, Yolanda",
                "Geyer, Jody",
                "Croft, Ben",
                "Gardner, Toby"
            },
            "Yes-Identified By",
            IF (
                SEARCH (
                    "Valencia, Gonzalo",
                    'Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team],
                    1,
                    0
                ) > 0
                    || SEARCH (
                        "Webster, Julianne",
                        'Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team],
                        1,
                        0
                    ) > 0
                    || SEARCH (
                        "DiBlasio, Wendy",
                        'Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team],
                        1,
                        0
                    ) > 0
                    || SEARCH (
                        "Maliepaard, Yolanda",
                        'Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team],
                        1,
                        0
                    ) > 0
                    || SEARCH ( "Geyer, Jody", 'Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team], 1, 0 ) > 0
                    || SEARCH ( "Croft, Ben", 'Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team], 1, 0 ) > 0
                    || SEARCH (
                        "Gardner, Toby",
                        'Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team],
                        1,
                        0
                    ) > 0,
                "Yes-PT",
                "No"
            )
        )
    )

By the way, you could use this tool to format your dax formula.

Hi, you can start to reduce using IN

Example:

IF (Table1[NameColumn] IN {"Angela", "Betty", "Karl"} , "TOP",     Continue

@Vvelarde 

thanks, super helpful

my new measure is below

BDE check = IF('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Global Business Development Executive] IN {"Valencia, Gonzalo","Webster, Julianne","DiBlasio, Wendy","Maliepaard, Yolanda","Geyer, Jody","Croft, Ben","Gardner, Toby"},"yes bde",IF('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Leader] IN {"Valencia, Gonzalo","Webster, Julianne","DiBlasio, Wendy","Maliepaard, Yolanda","Geyer, Jody","Croft, Ben","Gardner, Toby"},"yes pl",IF('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Identified By] IN {"Valencia, Gonzalo","Webster, Julianne","DiBlasio, Wendy","Maliepaard, Yolanda","Geyer, Jody","Croft, Ben","Gardner, Toby"},"Yes-Identified By",IF('Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Pursuit Team] IN {"Valencia, Gonzalo","Webster, Julianne","DiBlasio, Wendy","Maliepaard, Yolanda","Geyer, Jody","Croft, Ben","Gardner, Toby"},"Yes-PT"))))

there is one more issue here

i see above measure is not reading my "Pursuit Team" coloumn

below is my pursuit team coloumn, possibly because i have more thn 1 names in the field,

is there a way we can sort this?

@vjnvinod  

You have simplified your question. But to provide any suggestion, Without any background of what exactly you are trying to do with this or provide with some sample data. Noone will have a scooby doo about this massive measure.

[vjnvinod]

@PattemManohar 

🙂

below is my 4 coloumns

and my table name is

Sales and Pipeline Full Data Ex'[Global Business Development Executive.

i want to create a new coloumn, with  the below condition

1) if my coloumn

"Global Business Development Executive" contains ,

Valencia, Gonzalo, 

Webster, Julianne,

DiBlasio, Wendy,

Maliepaard, Yolanda,

Geyer, Jody then my new coloum should show me "Yes-BDE"

and if my coloumn

Pursuit Leader contains,

Webster, Julianne, then my new coloum should show me "

Yes-PL

and similarly for other 2 fields as well

the above measue works fine for me, except for coloumn Pursuit team because it has name combined something like this

Jones, Colin;Chen, Cecile;

@vjnvinod  Thanks for this. Is it possible to have some sample data to test on. Also, why can't you have a calculated column to derive this logic by having all these values into different list variables and then flagging them appropriately.

@PattemManohar 

thanks Manohar,

it was a small "IN" function to reduce the complexity.

Can you read my last thread on this topic, not sure if you can find a solution on tht?
